Question Can`t install Windows on new MOBO, Error after first reboot?

[Thlian]

Went from Intel to AMD now and bought a Asus Rog Strix B550-F Gaming WIFI II and Ryzen 7 5700x3d. I already had windows installed on one of the drives. The new system wasn`t very happy with this, so I tried a new install from a WMCT boot drive.
Long story short, I have 3 drives, one M2 Nvme and two ssd. I have now tried installing windows on all 3 individually, meaning the two others disconnected. First steps is ok, choosing version and so, but at first reboot it says "something went wrong during restart, please restart. Press OK". But at this point, neither mouse of keyboard works.
All disks are wiped clean as well. I tried bios setting OtherOS/UEFI, and enabling/disabling CSM just to see if it mattered. If CSM was enabled it stopped even earlier so guess that`s a no go. Dunno what to do now.
I`ve used media creation tool for both windows 10 and 11. 11 install says my system doesn?t meat the system requirements for W11. But doesn`t matter that either. Error error error.
Why can one just put the components in, stick the windows boot disk in and BOOM, happy all night long.

Had to put back my "old" Z590 card with the intel cpu and do a clean install, and it went like a charm. Only using windoes 10 flash drive though, W11 didn`t think my components was compatible enough.

But I must say, B550 board feels like a step down from the Z590 board. Both Rog Strix. Doesn`t have support for cabinet USB-C and have only 1 port for ADD RGB.

Have you tried updating the new mobo bios?
Are you using the m.2 drive for the successful install with older hware?

In my experience I have found the best system Setup is with Window installed on a separate drive and your games and Important Data installed on a separate drive and and a shortcut to the desktop works best. This way if you have Window operating system issues you can clean install Windows and still have ALL of your Data available. I use this method for all of my pc's. With a new or different motherboard it is best to perform a clean install of Windows. Also Update the BIOS to the latest version for your motherboard.

22H2, but I went with the Windows 10 boot drive, felt more stable.

No. I used the m.2 drive for a spotless install with my old hardware when I got tired of trying to get the AM4 mobo to work.

This is the only way it was possible to get windows installed on the m.2. Secure boot to "UEFI", CSM to "disabled". Worked flawless on the Intel X590 board when I gave up on the B550 board that failed on the first boot over and over and over again. Tried the same process with my two other SSDs without luck.
Yeah, I am also running windows on only one drive and other "important" things on other drives.

Have you downloaded and created a bootable usb to install the latest version of windows 24H2 ?

 

[triplex1]

download the last iso from microsoft ( 24H2) and make usb again
Disable the two ssd disks you have and install in Nvme
Clean Nvme before install and make him unlocated
